The New York Red Bulls have traded captain Sacha Kljestan and $150,000 in targeted allocation money to Orlando City SC in exchange for forward Carlos Rivas and center back Tommy Redding, the team announced Wednesday.

Kljestan, who starred at Seton Hall in college, joined the Red Bulls in 2015. He helped the team to the 2015 Supporters’ Shield as well as an appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals of the MLS playoffs.

“On behalf of everyone at the club, I’d like to thank Sacha for his three years with the Red Bulls,” said Red Bulls Sporting Director Denis Hamlett said in a statement. “His career here was among the most productive of any player in team history, and he is a true professional on and off the field. We wish Sacha and his family all the best.”

“It’s never easy to trade a player, especially one that has been as impactful as Sacha,” continued Hamlett. “That said, this move is in the best interest of our club now and for the future. We are adding two young, exciting players that have MLS experience.”

In 2016, Kljestan had 20 regular-season assists, setting a new franchise single-season record in becoming just the second player in MLS history to reach the 20-assist mark.

He was named captain for the 2017 season in which the club reached the U.S. Open Cup Final and appeared in the MLS playoffs for the eighth consecutive season.

“Sacha has been a massive contributor to our current club culture and team success,” said coach Jesse Marsch. “Saying goodbye to him is an incredibly difficult thing for all of us. He should be considered a club legend and has left a lasting impression on everyone. We wish him great success in the future and we know that he will always be a big part of this club.”

In total, Kljestan has 22 goals and 54 assists in 121 appearances. In 2017 he surpassed Thierry Henry to become the club’s all-time assists leader. He led MLS in assists in back-to-back seasons, the first time a player has done so in league history.

Rivas, 23, joined Orlando City as a designated player in January 2015 from Deportivo Cali in his native Colombia. The attacking player posted career highs in appearances (30), goals (5), and assists (5) in 2017. In all, he made 78 appearances for Orlando over three years with eight goals and 13 assists.

Redding, 20, has made MLS appearances in each of his three seasons, playing 18 matches in both 2016 and 2017. He totaled 38 appearances and 31 starts. In 2017 he recorded 55 clearances, 30 interceptions and 30 tackles.
